PATWIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, DAVIS
BIRCH LANE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, DAVIS
Two Team Members teach 5th grade at Patwin Elementary, one Team Member teaches 4th grade at Birch Lane Elementary, and one Team Member teaches 2nd grade at Pioneer Elementary. We aim to cultivate passionate, independent student writers, as well as to grow as teachers and leaders. We all teach Writing Workshop (WW). Our goal is to give students meaningful writing experiences that reflect their identities, as well as encourage collaboration, perseverance, and a love for writing. Our Team plans to attend Writing Workshop trainings to deepen our WW knowledge. We will collaborate and coach one another through modeling and observing lessons, as well as co-teaching WW. We will then train and coach colleagues who are interested in implementing WW.
